The Black Bear

Excellent place to get breakfast. Had the biscuits and gravy and it was outstanding. The biscuits had great flavor and the gravy seemed more of the sawmill variety but was great. Service was fast and friendly even though it was busy and a relatively small restaurant. Would definitely recommend for breakfast.

Miss the brownies from this place SO much! 🍫✨ I used to go all the time when I worked nearby. Great prices and amazing desserts😋 I’ll definitely go back and try your dinner! 🫶🏻

Food was really good. Went there for breakfast. Ordered Avacado toast. Was worth it. As like other Denali restaurants prices are higher but this was good. For dinner ordered Salmon and in my opinion it was not all that great. Small piece of fish and expected it to be fresher. Guy behind the counter was good and explained options.

Do yourself a favor and come here during your Denali visit. I fell in love with their pastry case -- it's dairy/gluten friendly, ingredient minimalist, and overall very attractive and interesting options. The raspberry oat bar and apple cake were both excellent, well-balanced flavors and textures, not overly sweet, and allowed the fresh fruit to stand out. The trail mix cookie wasn't my favorite. They have a coffee shop quality menu, and my basic oat milk latte was pretty much perfection. The brunch menu looks good; everything they were bringing outlooked amazing. I only tried the biscuits and gravy -- thick, buttery biscuit, flavors on the plate were pretty mild, but twas a good portion and enjoyable dish. This is a very popular spot and there's a line as soon as they open. They move pretty efficiently, and there seems to always be a free seat or two indoors or outdoors. I didn't eat my way through Denali by any means, but I feel confident saying you'll get much better food and coffee here than at any of the lodges. Their WiFi was also better than lodge I was staying at. This place is a major gem!

Love this place! This is the quintessential modern mountain cafe. The coffee is amazing ands so are the pasties. Pick up a pre-made sandwich to eat later on a hike. Loved my oatmilk latte! Very popular spot! Everyone has a smile on their face.

Busy breakfast location. My food was ready before the hot chocolate and the biscuits (of Biscuits & Gravy) had a distinct taste of over baked/burnt. Not the best B&G in glitter gulch

Best coffee in Alaska ! Excellent cafe serving crafted espresso beverages and delicious breakfast items including both sweet and savoury options. Eat in and take away available. The Avocado Toast was so delicious and the perfect start to a busy Denali day. And so is the breakfast eggs. The coffee came with latte art too - definitely the best coffee in the area, and possibly the State! Staff are wonderful and friendly. There’s seating available both inside and outside on the deck area. Highly recommended!

This establishment has been the highlight of my trip so far. Great atmosphere, really 10/10 experience. Breakfast options were delicious, we had the ham bizzle & bearrito, then got blueberry scones below. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and quick! There was a steady line of customers and they were whipping out plates and coffees like crazy. We dined in and I had a great time. But we desperately want to who Elijah is and why making his coffee is such a hot debate, I heard about this person for like 10 min and need to know LOL. 15/10 experience and I will try to come here again next time I'm in Alaska.
